Book Clubs

Author: Barbara Hudgell

Planning Unit: Jefferson County CES

Major Program: Communications and Expressive Arts

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

In September 2020 we decided to begin virtual book clubs. A porch pick up is scheduled and the registered participants pick up their boxes with the book and supplies for activities and surprises that enhance their reading experience. As of the end of April we have had 18 different books for 3 age groups. Cloverbuds, 4th & 5th graders, and Middle/High School have had books chosen for their ages. Activities have included cooking, quilt square, terrarium, upcycling, science experiments & mixed media. Several participants were reluctant readers when we began but are discovering the enjoyment of reading. As one mother emailed us:
Hello Miss Barb. I registered Allie for the March book club yesterday but I’m not sure it went through. Could you please check and confirm your system shows she’s registered? 
By the way, she’s really enjoying it. Since it’s a struggle to get her to read, that’s saying a lot! Thank you so much!

Another mother told us about her daughter sharing the information she learned about the underground railroad (The Last Safe House) and about Rachel Carson (Who Was Rachel Carson) with her class.

We will continue to offer this program through the summer and next year.
